The month's episode of Sew Geeky was themed Classic Anime and was first announced over on our facebook page. Starting all the way back to Astro Boy, we are celebrating the animes of yesteryear that make the genre what it is today (think Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, Akira, Trigun, Dragonball Z, Inyuasha...)

Our special guest this month was Celina of Petit a Petit and Family who sewed up this super adorable AstroBoy swimsuit for her son! We can't get over how perfect he is as Astro!

Click through to see more photos, leave some comment love and find out more about the outfit! Celina is the brains behind so many cool things, including STYLO magazine (which both of us here at Sew Geeky were honoured enough to be a part of their maiden issue!)

Akira became, of course, Kaneda from the anime she was named after! AKIRA! Check out her tiny little outfit and all the HILARIOUS photos right here, yo!

Gotta catch 'em all! And why wouldn't you with a Pokemon that is THIS cute? Check out the Pikachu onesie that Vincent will not take off over here

Last but certainly not least is beautiful Azy as Cardcaptor Sakura. You can see all the beautiful photos and a close up of those epicly perfect wings on Sew Chibi right here!

Hope you enjoyed clicking through all the fun we had! If you sewed along, or if you have ever made anything that falls within this theme, link up below so we can have the best directory of handmade Classic Anime Sew Geeky goodness!

Feelin' a little inadequate? Just because we're all 'grown-up' now and are supposed to be responsible mamas it doesn't mean that we don't still have some rebellious attitude still inside!
